We had a lot of fun dressing last week because, hello, it was (mostly) beautiful out – yippee! Makes What We Wore Wednesdays a lot more fun. 

It had been a long week of M in the city and traveling, so, last Wednesday I just decided to get the boys up and out on a dinner date. This crew joined us, which made everything more fun! Here is what we wore:

On L: H&M polo, Abercrombie sweatshirt and jeans.

On B: Target shirt, Crewcut neon hoodie, Gap jeans, and his new Toms which I am obsessed with! The neon hoodie from Aunt Carolyn is genius for helping to spot him quickly when he is off playing in the woods. (which is often). 

On C: J Crew denim top, scarf from Hot Mama, Joes Jeans, and Target flats. I was super brave dumb to wear white, as within 2 minutes I had dirty fingerprints on my pants. 

Enough of my crew – let’s see yours! You know the drill: comment below to link back to your own blog or play along on our super hip Pinterest board!

Play ball! Baseball season started this past weekend and L’s team is the Cubs. Naturally that means it looks like red, white, and blue has exploded on my family for What We Wore Wednesday. We seem to be living in the gear I recently purchased. B loves it because he matches L and of course feels that he is on the team even though I repeatedly drag him off the field over and over again. 

Here is the breakdown of our cheerleading looks:

On L: Nike Cubs long sleeve tee and baseball pants, courtesy of Dicks. Team issued red socks. BFF Ryder’s blue fleece.

On B: He has a Crewcuts striped tee on underneath his Cubs tee, which is from Old Navy. Gap skinny jeans on the bottom.

On C: Nike tee from Dicks, A&E jeans, and Target flats (which by the way, are the most incredible and comfortable flat ever).

It’s What We Wore Wednesday, and that means it’s time to show off you little one(s)! Let’s see those cute spring outfits… we had two days over 50 degrees, what a concept! Play along by commenting below or joining our super fashionable Pinterest board.

On L: It’s baseball season and that means time for a fun baseball tee from Crewcuts. Abercrombie jeans and huh, he’s not wearing shoes. Ok then! And wow, I’m actually surprised he has socks on.

On B: Striped tee from the Gap and skinny jeans from Old Navy. We got 3 people commenting on how cute ‘she’ looked. I really thought the girl comments would end once his hair was cut…

On C: I love using maxi skirts/dresses as a way to transition into spring. They are long so your legs aren’t totally bare, meaning you stay a bit warmer and of course, super comfortable! Mine is from CAbi and I could not love it more. Target tank, Banana Republic cardigan, and Gap scarf.

That’s my crew – let’s see YOURS!

I’m Courtney’s sister-in-law, Carolyn, guest posting for What We Wore Wednesday while C is in Florida. Bring back some sunshine C, and thanks for having me on my favorite blog! XO

Sometimes getting dressed for the usual workday, anxiously anticipated happy hour, or fancy schmancy event needs a cherry on top! The cherry being my fave way to accessorize: the Bracelet Stack.

Stacking is ideal when you’re in a time crunch to jazz up your “uniform.” I don’t think about what I’m going to wear to work – other than if I can sit criss-cross applesauce on the rug and that I don’t care if I get Sharpie on it when checking papers (if you guessed I’m a 2nd grade teacher, you’re right).  

Stacks are also great for your “go-to” outfits for happy hour and weeknight dinners with the girls, which for me = JCrew Minnies + silk blouse + patterned scarf avec booties. Who’s with me?

A stack of bracelets is the best way to shake up your “go-to” get-up. Then we have party time! Love a jewel colored silk number or LBD that you can change up and wear for more than one wedding, gala, or bestie’s b-day party. The perf way to accessorize and make it look like a totally new dress is the arm candy.

Here is what I wore: Lincoln Park After Dark, GNO, Teacher Time, & Sunny Saturday in the Chi (Top Left, Clockwise):

Rules of Bracelet Stacking

-High End & Low End: When they’re mixed together you can’t tell how much they cost – if they’re plastic or sterling silver, Cartier or Francesca’s.

-Pop of Color: This accent can match your outfit or even better can be totally opposite on the color wheel. Or the only trace of color if you’re in all black (or all white – when will we be able to wear white jeans again?).

-Metal Mixin’: Silver, gold, rose gold… oh my! This took me out of my comfort zone, SO happy I no longer feel the need to match all silver earrings, bracelets, watch, ring. #boring

-Staples with Stories: You see a lot of repetition… No need to buy new ones. People always ask and it’s better when you have a fun tale to tell (or that is was on sale for 6 bucks at JCrew), so stick with your staples. – oldies but goodies.

It’s time for What We Wore Wednesday which means get out of the black yoga pants and show of your little one(s)!

How fun is it to dress little boys? I mean I know girls clothes are amazing but I love to dress my boys. There is something about them in a gingham collared shirt…it’s just too cute! A mini version of dad.

Here is what we wore while celebrating my Grandma’s 98th birthday!

On L: Same shirt as last week, from abercrombie. J Crew jeans and Nike’s on the bottom.

On B: What do you think of his haircut? He looks so old to me now….! He’s rocking a Crewcut shirt and Old Navy skinny jeans.

On C: Oh how I wish I wasn’t back in skinny pants and boots….ugh! It’s all J Crew aside from the pants, which are James Jeans. I could live in that denim shirt.

That’s my crew – let’s see yours! I’d love for you to pin your photos over on our wwww Pinterest board!
